1. Installing Euphoria Under Linux

Incidentally, To the person considering Mandrake, I just did an Install of it myself, and it installs like a dream. There are some issues I have to work through yet, (like installing/updating software) but it's been good so far. And on that note, I am having difficulty with Euphoria under linux. No matter what I try and do, exu (or pdexu for that matter) starts executing (as seen by it's existance in the taskbar), However, even for very simple programs (puts(1,"Worked\n")) it always has the Eggtimer thing (sand moving from top to bottom, you know what I mean) and then it just exits, without doing ANYTHING. Firstly, my setup : Running Intel campatable AMD Athlon WinXP on NTFS partition Mandrake 9.1 on Ext3 Fat32 Data partition (no OS on this partition) I have both Euphoria for windows on this partition, as well as Euphoria for Linux. I can run euphoria for windows fine. My Install Procedure : Download PD Euphoria & extract to /mnt/win_d/LinEuphoria rename exu to pdexu Download Full Version Euphoria & extract to /mnt/win_d/LinEuphoria Download the GTK include files and extract to /mnt/win_d/LinEuphoria/include That's it. Anything I am doing wrong?

It probably crashed with a run-time error. Use Run As on the euphoria file, choose exu or pdexu and check the "Show Console" option. That way, you can see the error and fix the problem. Then it should show the window, once you get it working. PS. I'm not sure whtether it's called "Show Console", I haven't used Mandrake in a while. >From: Urzumph <Urzumph at HotPOP.com> >Subject: Installing Euphoria Under Linux > > >Incidentally, To the person considering Mandrake, I just did an Install of >it myself, and it installs like a dream.

Try instead: puts(1, "Worked\n") if getc(0) then end if Or try running exu from a plain text-mode console. If you are running exu in a console window within a GUI environment, it might create a new window and then close it so fast that you don't see the output. On some versions of Linux/FreeBSD exu will prompt with "Press Enter" at the end, but it might not work like that on all systems. Your program may need to prompt for input so you can see the output before the window closes. exw is much the same. Also, be careful not to type "ex". On my system, there's an editor called "ex". And check for any ex.err that may have been created. Regards, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software http://www.RapidEuphoria.com
